The Honesty of Women.

Women are being employed more and
more as book-keepers and cashiers, and one
avowed ground of this employment is that
they are more honest than men. Unques-
tionably they are so up to this time, and it is
probable that they will have some permanent
advantage in that way. Their normal in
stincts are somewhat higher and their temp
tations less on the side of perilous indul.
gence. But 1t has been pointed out more
than once by the more cautious friends of
women that good deal of the present moral
advantages of that sex in matters of honesty
come simply from inexperience. They have
hitherto had so little 10 do with the direct
handling OF money that they regard it with
more reverence than men; the thoughts of
an irregularity alarms them the conscience
is wholly fresh and sensitive; they cannot
conceive how person can wrong another
out of dime and live. Moreover, they over
rate the difficulties and perils consequent on
wroBg doing. A young book-keeper told me
once that whenever her accounts failed to bal
ance, if it were only by a single cent. she
felt as if a policeman were just coming in
at the door. 1t is as we find to be the case
with lending money, any prudent person
would rather lend to a woman than to q man,
because lie knows that the chance of repay
ment is greater. In the present state of
society debt of S. seems tremendous af-
fair 10 woman, and a very small affair to q
man but let that woman borrow and repay
a few times and the fine edge Of sensibility
begins TO wear of, precisely as it does with
a man, but more slowly-Hdrper's Bazaar.

Peculiar.

AS matter of fact, there are no people to
whom the word peculiar will not apply, in
one way or another. Every one has his own
special virtues, faults or mannerisms. Con-
sequently, there is nothing in the word itself
from which 1t can be inferred that its appli-
cation to man or woman is honorable or
opprobrious Nevertheless, such is the power
OF usage, when one is described as peculiar,
however safe the descriptive word may be,
however completely 1t may shield thespeaker
OF writer from liability for SANDER or libel,
there is an indefinite something meant which
may reasonably excite curiosity. If it means
praise, how much praise If it means the
opposite, then how mild or savage is the at
tack on character? The word is often spoken
very placidly is it really charged with envy,
malice and hatred? Is it a word that is
cowardly, used with the intention that its
indefnileness should leave an impression on
the mind of the reader or listener
more unfavorable to the subject of passing
criticism than its strictest Interpretation
would warrant? 1t would seem so. Then
let the word peculiar" as applied to per-
sons, be reclaimed from misuse, as when car
rying with 1t some dark insinuation, and in
tended to excite and deepen prejudice 1t is
descriptive, in general way, OF everybody
1t indicates nothing of merit or demerit, but
is only suggestive of differences. And the
differences in mankind are the glory of the
race.

1t Wouldn't Work Both Ways.

Johnny was guilty of an infraction of
household law, and the frowning mother
reached for her slipper.
"Here, mother" said Johnny, soberly, "If
you're goin' to do anything like that use the
fire shovel. Your slipper amt half big enough
to do any sort of good"
The slipper was a five, several sizes wider
than the fire shovel, but Johnny's mother
was q woman, and he got cookie with
raisins in it, in lieu of padding.
Two hours later Johnny related his scheme
to little Dick, who slowed it away in his not
very capacious tow-head for a future use.
An occasion came betmcs. Mother"
cried little Dick IN his fulsome eagerness to
be ofservice to the angry dame. fuse the snow
shovel. Your slipper is too big.
When little Dick recovered from the ef-
feet of the seance that followed he sought
out Johnny and gave him sound thrashing.
Johnny's shrewdness, it Is thus seen, could
not preserve him from this result of another's
stupidity, which is often the case in this
world, and shows the folly of sharing O
valuable but dangerous secaet with flunder-
head.

Monkeys Copying Human Vices.

Dr. Jammes, in a memoir sent to the
Academic DIES Sciences of France, states that
monkeys, unlike other animals, unless it is the
human animal, readily acquire the habit of
morphia. When monkeys live with opium
smokers, as they do in the eastern countries,
where the habit is more prevalent than else
where, and become accustomed to the medi-
Gated atmosphere, they acquire taste for
the pipe. One particular monkey, it is said,
would wait for his master 10 lay down his
pipe and would then take 1t up and smoke
what remained. If not allowed to do SO for
several days it would fall into state of de-
preston and inactivity which would dissap.

Somewhere the wind Is blowing,

In the burning heat of the noontide,
And the fancy made strong.
Yes, somewhere the wind Is blowing.
Though here where / gasp and sigh.
Not breath of air is stirring,
Not cloud in the burning sky.
Somewhere the thing we long for
Exists on earth's wide bound,
Somewhere the sun is shining
When winter nips the ground.
Somewhere the flowers are springing.
Somewhere the corn is brown,
And ready unto the harvest
10 feed the hungry town.
Somewhere the twilight gathers
And weary men lay by
The burden of the daytime,
And wrapped in slumber lie.
Somewhere the day is breaking,
And gloom and darkness flee:
Enough storms our bark are tossing,
There's somewhere placid sea.
And thus, thought, tits always,
In this mysterious life,
There's always gladness somewhere
In spite of its pains and strife;
And somewhere the sin and sorrow
of earth are known no more,
somewhere our weary spirits
Shall mud peaceful shore.
Somewhere the things that try us
Shall all have passed away,
And doubt and fear no longer
Impede the perfect day.

Around thy soul be cast,
inc earth 10 rolling sunward,
And light shall come at last.
